Do adenomas go away spontaneously? My toy poodle has several. He licks them constantly.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These do not go away on their own. Even though they are benign, sometimes we have them removed palliatively if they bothering the patient. If any of these seems to be bothering him, I would consider having him evaluated to have at least some of them removed if they are bothering him. Good luck and have a great day!
